What do travel advisors do?
Think of a travel advisor as your own personal expert on all things travel related. An advisor typically has relationships with hotels and access to deals that can make travel planning more efficient and enjoyable, and save you both time and money. A good travel advisor works on your behalf before, during, and after every trip, giving you the kind of inside information and expertise that makes a world of difference when traveling.
Are all travel advisors the same?
Every travel advisor has a different set of connections and tools to help you plan your best trip. As an affiliate of First in Service Travel, Woodlyn Travel is part of a network of industry veterans. We have the privilege of being members of the Virtuoso Network, the Hyatt Prive program, and many others. Not all travel advisors can say that!

Virtuoso is a network of the best luxury travel agencies in the world. A Virtuoso travel advisor elevates every trip.

Can't I just book online or call the hotels myself?
Sure, but a good travel advisor know the tricks and tips you won't find online. And they can often get you special deals or upgrades that are only available to industry insiders.
